Chapter 135: Snow and snow, migrating blood and tears

If you want to develop the Western Regions, it is not enough to have enough population. The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and relying on natural childbirth alone will make it difficult for the Western Regions to develop in less than tens of hundred years.

Of course, the main reason is that the population and ethnic Billy in the Western Regions are seriously unbalanced. If you want to maintain stability, you must make the Han population an absolute advantage. In this case, Chen Ying has always wanted to immigrate to the border.

It’s just a pity that this idea is difficult to realize. From the end of Daye to the five years of Wude, in the past ten years of war, the population of the Central Plains has decreased a large number of times. Now in the early Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains have not lacked arable land. The Chinese people are also a nation that is very nostalgic for their hometown. Unless they have to be absolutely necessary, no one is willing to leave their hometown and go thousands of miles away.

We must force means to fear internal turmoil. Besides, Li Yuan would not allow Chen Ying to do so. He should use soft things, and Chen Ying's influence among the people is not enough.

Although Chen Ying made several personal shows with great influence in succession, such as fighting against the Xue family of the Western Qin Dynasty, quelling the rebellion of the neighboring dynasties, quelling the rebellion of Liu Wuzhou, quelling Wang Shichong, forcing Dou Jiande to create fertilizers, and developing scientific planting, the Li Tang court entered the pass and ruled the world, which had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it was far from being replaced by such a few major events. Moreover, Chen Ying did not interfere in the civil servants of the court.

The Chinese nation itself is war-resistant, restrained, feminine, and follow-up. The governance of the Li Tang court was only a response to this kind of people's character. Chen Ying wanted to inject the Han people into the warlike genes, but he had a long way to go. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to migrate Han people from the mainland and difficult to implement. However, vigorously developing the Western Regions. If the Western Regions are not the main body of the Han people, even if Chen Ying stationed a large army temporarily could intimidate those ambitious people, once Chen Ying led his army back to Chang'an, they would repeat.

After all, Chen Ying silently calculated that once the Western Regions are isolated from blizzards, even if the Li Tang court had to make countermeasures, it would take half a year or even a year. In that case, the rebels could easily become in power.

Whether Chen Ying did not maintain the speed of military force and destroyed the Western Turks in one fell swoop, he had this concern. In history, the Tang Dynasty used its enlightened ethnic policy to vigorously support the pro-Tang tribes and nations, and recruited surrenders and rebellions. In the early days of the founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty was strong, and these vassal troops became the strongest support for the expansion of the Tang Dynasty. However, after the decline of the Li Tang court, there were still more than 100,000 elite Hu clans in the border, and immediately turned against each other. First, the Gelulu tribe turned against him in the battle of Talas, which defeated the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi. Then An Lushan and Shi Siming led hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry to enter the Central Plains in a mighty manner.

As Chen Ying, who stands on the shoulders of historical giants, he has a very clear understanding of this national issue. All Hu tribes are all ungrateful and ungrateful people. If they are not of our tribe, their hearts will be different. This principle is always correct. Even if the bully is a disaster, he will suffer the consequences of his own life.

The Huns split the two parts of the north and south, and the Han Dynasty would be in the southern Xiongnu, which was destroyed by the race, and brought it to the Hetao area, making the Hetao area a place for the Southern Xiongnu to recuperate. After decades of recuperation, the Southern Xiongnu slashed the Han Dynasty hard.

Of course, there is also such a thing. With the wind of Cao Cao sweeping Wuwan and Xianbei, dozens and millions of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuwan, Fuyu, Goguryeo, Gaoche, Dingling, Tiefo, Tiele, Jie, Di, Qiang and others surrendered. After only a decade of this, the Tufa tribe of Xianbei was the first to rebel, and then the Di tribe Yang Wannian rebelled again. Later, the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, Di tribe Li Xiong, Li Te, Jie tribe Shi Le, Xianbei Murong clan, Tuoba tribe, and nomadic cavalry rushed into the Central Plains, using the Han people as sheep and killed them as food. After dozens and hundreds of years of traitors and plunder, the entire Han people almost destroyed the clan and the race.

History often has amazing similarities. The prosperous Tang Dynasty was actually destroyed by this ethnic policy. The loose ethnic policy allowed the Shatuo people to successfully invade Chang'an and take the throne. The Li Tang Dynasty completely disappeared from the dust of history.

Chen Yingshi naturally did not want to repeat the mistakes of history. He would rather create one no-man's land after another than fatten the Hu people and strengthen them with his own hands, and finally turned against each other, causing the Chinese nation to fall under the Hu people's cavalry and groaned in pain.

Just when Chen Ying was at a loss, Chen Ying received a good news from Liu Tong of the Beiwei Army. In the good news, the Beiwei Army, Supi Army and Sufaquluo Army formed an anti-Tubo alliance. The Beiwei Army also used the rescued Han slaves, and the imperial court expanded its troops. The three units merged together, and the troops increased to more than 20,000 troops.

Liu Tong remembered Chen Ying's actions on the grassland and decided to follow Chen Ying, so he began to expand wildly on the snowfield.

Liu Tong and Xunxiang did not just kill, but learned from Chen Yingla's way of fighting against each other, hung all the tribe leaders and leaders who were evil on the flagpole, allowing the blizzard to freeze these unpopular tribe leaders and leaders to death, and then burned the land and contracts of these tribe leaders in public, sold their bodies to burn them, and declared that these Tubo people became free people. Then they took away their food, cattle and sheep, and various materials and property. If they really couldn't take them away, they would be distributed to the people oppressed to the Tubo people, just like barley fields, land, grassland and other real estate.

Since this, Liu Tong and Xunxiang's troops have been happy and sad. Some have been secretly contacted by Tubo slaves to serve as internal supporters. Liu Tong and Xunxiang's tribes were swept away one by one. By February of the fifth year of Wude, his troops had grown to more than 23,000 soldiers, and rescued more than 200,000 Han people.

Now with the coming of spring, Liu Tong's troops have aroused the alertness of the Tubo people. Of course, Chen Ying can understand that if the Tubo people did not respond at this time, it would be water in their heads.

Most of these more than 200,000 people were weak and sickly, and they had no way to follow the Beiwei Army and Supi Army to carry out strategic transfers. Liu Tong hoped that Chen Ying could send troops to the Luoburula Valley of Kunlun Mountain and pick up these people who were short of food and clothing!

Chen Ying was ecstatic when he saw 200,000 people. If Chen Ying had not arrived, they would have been tortured to death. In fact, when Chen Ying first arrived in Liangzhou, he was also suspected that in the fifth year of Daye, the government was in charge of the 14 prefectures under the rule of the Liangzhou General Administration, a total of 790,000 households were found in the 14 prefectures, with a population of about 4 million. However, in the third year of Wude, there were only less than 200,000 acres and less than 10,000 people.

Chen Ying was also very strange. Although Xue Ju and Li Gui and Qin and Liang raised their flags to rebel, in fact, there was no large-scale war except Qianshuiyuan and Gaojiu battles, and the deaths of the people due to war can also be ruled out. Chen Ying also asked someone to investigate where more than 3 million people in Liangzhou ran everywhere. Now I understand that these populations must have been robbed by the Tubo people to the snow plateau.

If the ordinary Han people have reached the snow plateau, it would be good if one of ten people survived. Even if most of the Han people rescued were weak and sick, they would drag down the Beiwei Army, Chen Ying was not worried that these people would be burdened. On the contrary, he was worried that the population was too small.

If there were one million Han people, Chen Ying believed that within three years, he would have a way to operate the Western Regions into a country that was not weaker than Bashu.

Time is life. At this time, Chen Ying ordered 104 counties in Xizhou Road, each county to draw several civil servants and pack horses according to its strength. Then he joined in Jinman County.

Chen Ying did not use the soldiers of the Modao Army, but mainly the soldiers of the Shosheng Army, the Cavalry Army and the five Hebei New Army soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture. Chen Ying led these people to brave the cold and rushed towards Jinmancheng.

Marching in the cold weather is a taboo for military strategists. However, Chen Ying has no such concern. Now these soldiers who are either wearing cotton coats or down jackets do not feel cold even if they walk in the wilderness of minus twenty degrees below zero.

Of course, what supports Chen Ying with such confidence is the military stations established by Chen Ying along the way. The Western Regions are very desolate. Even if there are only dozens or hundreds of small broken cities, they are actually small villages and towns like the Central Plains. In order to facilitate transportation, Chen Ying used the camps left by the army during the march to establish military stations one by one.

These stations are built from the old camp. When the soldiers who marched hard for a day arrived at the camp, the gangs who arrived early had prepared steaming food and hot water.

The soldiers eat hot rice, then burn their feet with hot water to eliminate fatigue, and then fall asleep.

It took more than 500 miles from Gaochecheng to Jinman County. Chen Ying's troops arrived in Jinman County in seven days.

Seeing Chen Ying coming in snow, Zhang Huaiwei came to Chen Ying. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Huaiwei said carefully: "Major Protector, forcing his troops for seven consecutive days, the soldiers must have been trapped. As the last generals saw him, should he rest for a few days, accumulate energy, and then look for fighter jets? My Modao Army has been recuperating in Jinman County for three or four months, so they should be allowed to come out to move..."

Chen Ying pointed at Zhang Huaiwei and said, "Old Zhang, I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to learn bad things too!"

Zhang Huaiwei had a thin face and was embarrassed by Chen Ying's words.

Chen Ying sent him a letter to the cavalry, asking him to prepare three thousand snow sledges, two hundred thousand stones of food, and a large amount of cold-resistant sheepskin and clothes. In Zhang Huaiwei's opinion, there should be a big battle to fight! Since the Modao Army arrived in the Western Regions, except for fighting with Murong Fuyun and beheading more than 8,000 levels, he has not recovered the battle. He watched the Yue Cavalry Army, Hebei New Army, the Killing Cavalry Army and the Shooting Army make contributions one after another, and he was really anxious!

Chen Ying looked at Zhang Huaiwei's uneasy look and smiled: "It's not a war now!"

"Not a war?"

Zhang Huaiwei asked curiously: "It's not a war, the general wants to use so many supplies?"

"I'm picking up people!!" Chen Ying said solemnly: "Go to pick up the 200,000 Han compatriots captured by Tubo!"

Chen Ying didn't have much explanation, but lie in bed and sleep.

When he woke up, Zhang Huaiwei had already prepared Chen Ying's supplies, food and snow sledge that he needed. These Anxi soldiers led a huge baggage transport team to advance towards Yecheng along the snow-filled road!

...

In the valley of Roburula, there were endless tents everywhere, heart-wrenching screams and pain everywhere.

In an igloo made of ice, a woman kneeled in front of a little girl whose head had been broken for two or three months, slapped the ground with her palms like crazy, making her hands covered in blood, making a hoarse cry, as if her heart was torn apart.

Liu Tongyi felt sad when he saw it.

The dead little girl was thrown to death by the woman's husband because the woman was fucked by a Tubo man and gave birth to a child.

The man was pushed down on the snow by two Beiwei soldiers. The man roared: "Let me go, let me go!"

Xunxiang looked at it, and his big feet stepped on the man's face: "A bastard, useless waste, I dare not fight against the Tubo people, why are you angry with a child? She is only three months old, three months old, she is really a sin!"

The strength of searching for the face is quite strong, and this kick is made with hatred.

The man was kicked off four teeth by Xunxiang, and his whole face was swollen!

The man argued in a hoarse voice: "I have a genitals, I'm not a waste!"

Liu Tong looked coldly at the woman with a disheveled head and face and said, "Did you let him die? If you forgive him, I can spare him not to die!"

A murderous aura flashed in the woman's eyes, but looking at the man lying on the ground, she finally shook her head.
Chapter completed!
